"I've had a tester pot of creme de la mer , it was nice, but I wanted to be wowed by it for the price , and I wasn't. I'm a medium price range skincare woman. I love Summer Fridays, oskia, Kate Somerville, and Zelens. I also love cerave cleanser (cheap as chips too) for a first cleanse " That’s what I think, I wonder if the packaging and “exclusivity” feels might be a trick when yes it’s good but it isn’t a magical product x I’m using a lot of Nip+Fab, Aesop, Kielh’s, L’Oreal and some Korean creams. But yeah I was wondering it about La Mer A friend of mine used it as she was gifted one and said was good, but she swears by Sendai but told me she paid £250 for a cream | |||

"Actually I am terrible for skin care - occasionally I go through a "i really ought to" and I buy new products. Then I stick to a routine (ish) for a few days, followed by a period of gradually losing steps in the routine... and it all goes pear-shaped. Tbh I do believe in moisturisers, at least some of the time at least but drinking lots of water is really important. " Ahah It’s literally my little mantra Daily, takes me maybe 15-20 mins in the morning and obviously Less at night but my skin is looking real good x I do talk to myself in the mirror sometimes like In them vogue vids. Hope I’m not the only crazy betch | |||

"I don't think there's a magic serum/elixir just clever marketing. There'll be products that are a fraction of the price and do just as good a job. Ultimately it's down to good genes and a good diet" Luckily she got the good genes but preserving is key for the future | |||

"Love Beauty Pie, buy all my skincare from there. Gorgeous packaging, not tested on animals, luxury but not too ££. Wearing sunscreen 365 days of the year is the best thing I do for my skin though. 75% ageing is down to the sun. " I’m doing my best to add SPF but I mean it’s usually so gloomy I tend not to But I’m learning to not forget that step | |||

"I can't use La Mer sadly, my sister swears by it but to be honest she's a bit of a snobby twunt and a consumerist so she buys it because of the status (I love her really). I tend to use The Ordinary skincare products, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, Dove soap and drink a lot of water (sparkling admittedly). I think being fat helps as well, no wrinkles, my skin looks plump, fresh and looked after. " Hahaha I already love your sister! I see the point of the whole branding and status, but I’m confused as some swear by it as the holy grail while others say it ain’t worth it even if it’s good Also I was wondering about Elemis, I’ve been to a few facials and they were okay. And had some prefacials before long haul flights at the spa lounge in T5. Kiehls is nice x | |||

"Not fussed on creme de la mer, didn't do much for me. I have a range of things. But most importantly SPF and a wide brim hat. I like elemis cleansing oil and lots of the pixi cleansing range. My secret I swear by is Neal's yard wild rose beauty balm. But it on before bed for dewy fresh skin the next morning. " I was gonna say/ask about Elemis. X Luckily I don’t have wrinkles yet but prevention is key that’s what my mama always said | |||

I think skincare is very much personal and it depends on your skin type, how you react to certain ingredients - Elemis is meant to be good. Glossier skincare has some very good reviews and that's next on my must try list, it's more midrange rather than luxury though. | |||

" No, she's a doctor as I'm reminded with every call and message. I'm not sure with the Covid situation if people are giving out samples any more but high end department stores are normally pretty good if you say that you want to try out a new range - especially in Selfridges and John Lewis. Good luck to your new dewy faceness. | |||

"How strange i dreamt i bought some last night in reality i never would, the price is too obscene for me to justify I use Neal's Yard now that my skin has matured and have to say, i really love it (i buy it on sale and I'm a sales consultant so get discount too! ) PS i think the dream is because I'm looking for a hot stones massage in Peterborough for my forthcoming visit so im currently seeing lots of expensive products being offered ! " Hahah! It is just so luxe… like cream de la mer…*in french* TAKE MY EFFING MONEY!!!! | |||

"When I've used retinol, that's made the biggest difference to my skin. And I can't remember who said fat helps, but it does! Skinny friends the same age seem to be ageing a lot faster but then they may not have worn spf religiously.
